Independent Fullmetal Alchemist RP Sideblog

---------------

-> Follows back from SAILINGMAKAI. If you follow this blog and that one follows you soon after, that is why.

-> Mostly Brotherhood, with occasional touches of '03. Diverges at Lab 5, where instead of being stopped at the surface, Edward goes deep enough to find a cache of Red Water he accidentally ends up absorbing, leading to him developing something like a Homunculus core.

-> I have watched all of 03 and all of Brotherhood (but I'm rewatching to refresh my memory)

-> Mun has probably 10+ years of writing experience, on and off tumblr.

-> Mun is very much a grown woman and is highly unlikely to do nsfw seeing as Edward is a minor.

-> I have patience enough for the both of us, so don't worry on being fast. This is a hobby, not a job.

Back in bed with him, apparently. He's barely been up all day - given how against being lazy he is, he's likely not 'there' today.

[ferussanguis]

(( funfact; Lonely Bastard Edward probably subconsciously appreciates Envy being there. He's not used to being alone, I'd imagine.

If there's anything his alchemy has the best chance of not killing the FUCK out of with depressing rapidity, it's a Homunculus. ))

[ferussanguis]

He crawls out of bed, and practically drags himself to the kitchen.

It looks like he's trying to make bacon and eggs, this morning, though he's barely awake.

(Or he's losing time again. It's never clear which is which.)

[ferussanguis]

(( absolutely in love with the idea of Hughes escaping his own death via dad-ing Envy to the point of rehabilitation ))

[ferussanguis]

Dead to the world, Edward sleeps. He seems unlikely to wake up soon.

[ferussanguis]

(( gonna be real low energy today

i woke up way earlier than usual and cant get back to sleep ))

[ferussanguis]

"...Guys... can be cute. I guess."

He mutters, largely to himself. Somewhat red.

[alchemistforthepeople]

While the stop in Edward's words had gotten Envy's attention for a moment, they ultimately decided they didn't care enough to pry. It was about a recipe and he got it from another human he knew, go figure.

Nothing interesting about that.

"Well, if I'm trying this stew then I might as well try that too."

Was there any harm in a little self indulgence? While on their so-called break? This basically was a break and they weren't told to report in, just watch the eldest brother and make sure he didn't die before the Promise day. Humans have and always were beneath them..

But.. Would it hurt to just explore the things they didn't really get a chance to otherwise?

There was a part of him that could just hear one of their siblings now.. Greed probably calling him pathetic or a hypocrite for actually letting himself indulge in things that he once viewed as a waste of time.

How he'd get under his skin about how truly fake they were. That no part of them or how they lived their artificial life was actually theirs, just the manufactured life they were told to live.

The personification of envy and spite.. that was their life, wasn't it?

To be envious of others, to be others, to have what they have. To be envious of the humans they so despised.

That hawkeye lady was right, wasn't she?

Their thoughts were broken as the stew was held to them, taking the bowl and raising an eyebrow as they moved the food around with the spoon.

"I have the feeling you're biased when you say that."

They shrugged, scooping up some of the stew into the spoon to gently blow onto it to cool it. Eating it right after.

[ferussanguis]

What would Mustang think to learn that Ed was housing Hughes' murderer, Edward wondered idly. If Edward knew Envy would be consistently in or near his house, he could tell him. Let him know where Envy was going to be so that he could get revenge.

But at the same time...

Not only might it end up with Ed having to buy a new house, it also just plain might not work (Envy could be anything, at any time. He might spy on such a meeting and run away, or worse-)

A breath in, and out.

There'd be other chances. (And a small part of him wondered now if Envy was capable of regret.)

"If you don't like it, we can try something else - different people like different things. Homunculi are probably the same way. Gotta be something out there you'd drop everything to have as a meal." Or at least, it made sense to him. Every living being had different taste preferences. As Edward got himself a bowl, he couldn't help but glance at Envy and wonder what they would considered a favorite food.

If they had one, and if they didn't; what it would end up being.

Taking a taste of the stew, he grinned slightly - yeah, venison worked well - flavorful and tender~

"Hey, is it bias if I'm right?" He retorted, pointing at Envy with his spoon. "Tons of different ways to make it, and it's always tasty. You don't get to knock my tastes Mr. 'food is optional'." Not until they'd had more food, at least. Enough to have an opinion on it beyond it being 'that thing humans have to do to live'. "Looking forward to trying more recipes though. Feels satisfying to make meals myself."

PSA: YOU'RE NOT BEING IGNORED.

A major part of the tumblr rp experience is refreshing the dash and see your mutual roleplaying with someone else. Or maybe they're answering asks, reblogging musing posts, making an OOC post here and there. However, there will be times where you are waiting on a plot, an ask, or a roleplay to be responded to and you see your partner interacting or engaging more with other people.

Again, the mind is a cruel thing. Inadequacy, jealousy, general anxieties stem up sometimes, it's part of being human. But what's important is how you act on these emotions. Please remind yourself that sometimes, things take time. Not all plots go somewhere. Sometimes, someone may not be feeling their muse for that rp. Maybe they just got really busy. Thousands of reasons, but none of them have anything to do with how much they like you as a person.

And that's okay. This isn't homework-- People should be allowed to pin down what they want to write and write it as they please. If you really want specific interactions, you can always send ic / anonymous asks to muses. You can make your own starter calls. Please don't put all of your eggs into one basket, as you will come to resent the people who don't immediately refill it. Don't be a goob, you have people who enjoy you AND your writing.

"I heard the word 'dad'. If we're talking about dads mine can go fuck himself."

[ferussanguis]

(( In terms of canon character ships... I do think I like Ed with Ling the most?

Ling with no greed, mind you, cause that's just an uncomfortable third wheel that gives me vibes of 'two people making out and a third just standing there watching them' which is just ew.

characters from other ip's, though... Not sure yet~! Ed hasn't really had much chance to meet non-fma characters yet, so I can't think of any he might vibe well with.

Either way, to soothe potential worries- NSFW remains a no-go on this blog, regardless of whether or not I have Ed get a crush on somebody. So don't worry about that~ ))

[ferussanguis]

(( every now and again I think about edxenvy as a pairing

while I think it'd be hilarious in a way if my Ed got a crush on him, just in terms of the fallout when Roy who's dating Greed finds out Fullmetal is dating the guy that murdered hughes the thing I keep sticking on is that my ed is 15. He's SO young. And Envy, is... not.

honestly I don't know how many muses would be young enough for Ed to start catching feelings for beyond Winry, who IS great, but a bit too vanilla for my RP tastes.

But yeah the mental image of the whole scene just... is fun to think about. The 'but he KILLED HUGHES' part. Heheh. ))

"Damn, don't exhaust yourself to death, Pipsqueak" - Envy

"If my teacher catches me slacking off, she'll kick my ass, and if she can do that with half her organs missing, I have no excuse." Edward that's not how it works-

[ferussanguis]

Edward is outside today, doing exercise! Or. Doing exercise as best he's able to - he keeps stopping to cough, and seems annoyed, but determined.

[ferussanguis]

(( OH YEAH I few days back I updated Ed's 'orientation' from 'straight' to 'questioning' because like!!! He's questioning a lot now!!!

I imagine FMA has at least relatively similar gender stances as earth back then, if perhaps quite a bit less Hostile to people about it (probably in the way of it's just not really talked about? Much less TAUGHT) and with Ed being 15 AND from a small town it feels like to me he really wouldn't be aware that there are other options beyond 'man who loves woman' and 'woman who loves man'

So after Mustang and Kagome both, he's just like

'holy shit? there's so many other Things a person can be???' and just kinda taking it all in and processing it all~ ))

[ferussanguis]

"...Breathe... Yelling won't help shit. Be nice, be nice, be nice."

If he could convince Envy that engaging with humans was worthwhile, give him things to value beyond targets, maybe he could avoid another Hughes.
